<br />
<font face="Helv" size="2"><font face="Helv" size="2">Attempts were made to reproduce this behavior on multiple such platforms. It looks like the file com.ibm.rational.performance.tester.pek.license_8.0.0.20081014_1207.jar file would have been created by Installation Manager at some point in the past when the original license activation kit JAR (delivered as part of the RPT_V8.5_Activation_Kit.zip) was used.<br />
<br />
It appears that this file has somehow become corrupted. The original com.ibm.rational.performance.tester.pek.license_8.0.0.20081014_1207.jar file size is 255.9 KB. So if you have a backup of /var/ibm/InstallationManager/bundles/plugins/com.ibm.rational.performance.tester.pek.license_8.0.0.20081014_1207.jar, then you could try replacing the existing file with the backup one.<br />
<br />
A deliberate attempt to reproduce the problem was made, wherein this JAR file was corrupted manually. After this, you see errors similar to those reported above. Unfortunately, for now there exists no way to repair this corrupted JAR file. The process to remove an Activation Kit did not work due to the corrupted JAR.<br />
<br />
Eventually, this was resolved only after clean un-installation of existing RPT and Installation Manager and then re-installed the same. However as part of the re-installation, you need to select the JAR from the original activation kit. This created a new, valid com.ibm.rational.performance.tester.pek.license_8.0.0.20081014_1207.jar and resolved the issue completely. </font></font></p>
